Blewett, J P

The problems associated with injecting high-intensity (up to 10/sup 15/ protons/sec) high-energy proton beams into synchrotrons and accelerating them to very high energies (1000 Bev) are discussed. The results of a study on possible experimentation with super-high-energy accelerators and with storage rings are briefly reviewed. Coasting beam experiments performed on the AGS and the cosmotron to check theoretical predictions about coasting beams in storage rings are described. With the accelerated beams held at constant field, the beams were found to decay exponentially. No surprising instabilities appeared, and the results of the experiments are within a fuctor of two of the theoretical predictions. (D.C.W.)
